What country is the silver Aristo from? I put Lexus badges on mine with "sportdesign" scuff plates, Ashtray, etc. I use to be a member of club Lexus back in the days, but never had time to re-join.
What companies out there have an HID kit for the GX470?
What is the largest size photo I can attach? My pics are almost 2mb

Here is a side shot. The car also has 4-wheel steering, rear sun shade (like the LS430), air purifier, and tons of other options. The TTE front spoiler was installed after the photo was taken, I'll take more in a few days.

Agree... the front lip looks like Wald...
The silver Aristo (my Dad's) is in Indonesia. Got a chance to have it as my daily driver during my 2 weeks vacation last summer tho... and it was WOW !!! Power is definitely not as linear as the 4.3L V8, but when the turbo kicks in at ~3000 rpm and ~5000 rpm, it was....

The car is in the Caribbean, not the US. If I did not live here, I could have easily applied for a VISA for the car and bring it to tour the country. Several people I know did that. I called DOT and many other people to bring it in earlier this year, but I had no luck, you must not be a US resident or citizen. Unfortunately I dont get to drive my car everyday, but I get to drive it every few weeks though. I own my Aristo for about 2 years now and think it's more fun than the V8 and for sure the non turbo because of the 2JZ-GTE vvti engine. I owned a 93 GS300 Turbo here in Florida with a GT70 Turbo and tons and tons of other upgrades, but I like my Aristo better. The 93 GS did make a few seconds in the 2 Fast 2 Furious warehouse scene.
If the gas was not so bad it would have got an HKS single turbo upgrade already.

First option would be the BLITZ kit with the factory spoiler but the car is low and it's hard to drive it in the hills and some bad roads. That is why I took off the low front spoiler and installed the TTE one.

Ooo, from the Carribean, Mon. I see. Well your car looks good. I think the side pic is taken before the TTe lip was installed, which was why I deleted my original message. I agree with you too about the bad gas. We are probably one of the last countries (Indonesia) in the world that still uses LEADED gas as our "premium" gas, so you can imagine the kind of crap that we are putting in our cars. I read somewhere in a local magazine that our BEST unleaded gas is probably about FOUR LEVELS LOWER than American's WORST unleaded gas (I am assuming the 87 or 89 here). It wreaks severe havoc to turboed high performance cars such as ours and on low 1500 rpm and accelerating on incline, I can hear severe knocking on my car. That's on stock boost! Can you imagine if I turn up the boost or replace with a single turbo kit like you wanted to do? I'd probably blow up the car when I took it out of the mechanic's and turn round the corner....
Nice car, anyway! I definitely want to see more!
